ELA Type:

Topic(s):

Pain and Palliative Care

Director(s):

Jinny Tavee MD

Description:

Chronic pain is difficult to treat as it is often compounded by other issues, such as psychosocial factors, mood disorders, and emotional distress. Mindfulness meditation and other forms of mind-body therapies may target not only the physical component of pain, but also the behavioral and cognitive aspects. By learning to objectify the experience of pain, including the mental and emotional phenomena that accompany it, patients develop better coping skills and report improved pain levels. This talk will provide an overview of various mind-body therapies and discuss how they can be used for the treatment of chronic neurologic pain.
